"Incredibly friendly and professional. I explained in great detail what I needed, and they gave me a quote that we agreed upon. They arrived exactly when they said they'd be here, and it turned out after they started that they needed one extra load than planned. They came back and did the extra load at no extra charge to make sure they honored their quote. I was very impressed with their service and will definitely be using them again."

"Phenomenal experience with this business! Professional, personal and able to pivot towards a wide range of needs. I had 12 pieces of furniture in need of immediate delivery from their purchase location to my home, and they got it done same day, on a Sunday, despite it being a non-typical service. The pricing was extremely fair, and I will absolutely be using them"

"Scott and Chance took my job and completed it in just about 40 minutes! They got some very big bulky items down the stairs and out of my rental with speed and took great care not to mark or damage anything. Very professional yet very amiable. If you have junk you need removed, these guys should be on the top of your list. Did I mention extremely fair pricing? Oh yes, not only did they do the job quickly, but the quote was exact and the price more than fair, especially now during all this inflation! Bottom line, these should be your junk removal guys!"

"Potomac Pros Removal Services did a great job. When I talked to Mauricio before he came to my house I told him I needed junk removed from my basement and hauled away and a queen mattress and other things moved into the basement. He asked me if I would like them to put the mattress into a bed bag and he offered to pick one up for me at Home Depot! It was a great idea to keep the mattress clean while being stored in the basement. Mauricio and his assistant got the job done efficiently and were careful not to damage the walls, etc., while moving things. Also, they noticed additional junk items in the basement and offered to haul them for no extra charge! I highly recommend Potomac Pros Removal Services."

"Josh did an amazing job on our heavy cleanout project. The amount of clutter was overwhelming, but he came in with a plan and handled everything professionally from start to finish. He worked quickly, stayed organized, and made the whole process stress-free for us. He was respectful of the situation, communicated clearly, and went above and beyond to make sure everything was cleared out and cleaned up properly. The transformation was unbelievable. I highly recommend Josh and his team if you need a large cleanout done right!"

Garbage Collection questions, answered by experts

Your garbage disposal will only affect the health of your septic tank if you’re using it too frequently, or filling it with organic waste that doesn’t fully break down. If the tank fills up with too many solids, the bacteria won’t have enough time to consume it before more is added, which can lead to an overflow in the drain field. Your tank will need to be pumped more frequently with excessive or improper garbage disposal use.

In some cases, it’s more cost-effective in the long run to replace a garbage disposal, but it depends on the specific issue you’re having and the age of your disposal. You should ask a garbage disposal repair tech for a quote to repair your appliance and then see if it would be more worthwhile to replace it. Additionally, garbage disposals last for around 15 years, so if you know your appliance is reaching that age, it’s likely better to pay for a new garbage disposal rather than sink money into repairs.

On average, a garbage disposal can last anywhere from 7 to 12 years, with many models functioning well for about 10 years. With heavy usage, a motor may last a minimum of five years, while grinding plates will wear down over time. It's generally a good idea to consider a replacement if your unit is approaching the 10-year mark. Other signs that it's time for a new disposal include frequent leaks, persistent clogs, lingering odors, lack of power, or unusual noises. If your unit is not that old, it's worth investigating if a less expensive part, like a rubber seal or a loose hose, is causing the issue.

Replacing a garbage disposal costs anywhere from $150 to $950, but the average cost is somewhere around $550. There are two types of garbage disposal units, and continuous feed disposals tend to cost more than batch feed disposals. Going for an aluminum garbage disposal is also significantly cheaper than choosing a stainless steel garbage disposal. You'll also need to factor in the horsepower of the motor, labor, and the removal and disposal of your old unit.

No, you do not need a garbage disposal to have a dishwasher. A dishwasher will work without one, and while it's rare to see a home with a dishwasher that doesn't have a disposal, it is possible. The two appliances pair well and are often installed together because a disposal simplifies meal cleanup.

However, your dishwasher should not be used as a replacement for a garbage disposal. Subjecting it to continuous food leftovers can lead to major clogs. If you choose not to install a garbage disposal, you should thoroughly rinse your plates or scrape excess food into the trash or a compost pile before loading them into the dishwasher to prevent plumbing issues.
